According to information that was leaked in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 46, the upcoming Black Clover film will be titled “Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King,” and it will premiere in Japanese theatres on March 31, 2023. On the same day, it will also be made available for worldwide streaming on Netflix.
Along with the announcement of the film’s release date, a major image for the film has also been made public, which depicts Asta armed and ready to battle.
It is quite rare for a Japanese animated film to have its international premiere on the same day that it opens in Japan, so the fact that it will be available on Netflix comes as yet another pleasant surprise for fans.
Fans of anime all around the world are used to having to wait for many months before a film adaptation of an anime series is made available in countries other than Japan.
Anime movies such as “One Piece feature Red” and “Jujutsu Kaisen 0” are examples of recent films that have been made available outside of Japan three to four months after their initial release in Japan.
There is not a lot of information available regarding the movie’s content, including whether it will be an adaptation of the manga series or an original story.
It is quite probable that the film Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King will not be considered canon because the manga arc that continues on from where the anime series left off has more than 70 chapters, which cannot possibly be covered in a film that is between 1.5 and 2 hours long.
The rumors suggest that a new playable character will be incorporated into the game. In the future movie, the previous Wizard King, who goes by the name “Conrad,” will have a significant role. Another image that was stolen was drawn by Yuki Tabata and it was of Wizard King Conrad.

The former Wizard King, Conrad, was very well-liked by the citizens of Clover Kingdom. Conrad will be voiced by Toshihiko Seki, who is best known for providing the voices of Muzan (Demon Slayer) and Umino (Naruto).
This is the official Twitter account for the Black Clover anime series. On October 2, 2023, a tweet said that fresh details regarding a movie will be disclosed in the following days. When new information becomes available, we will revise the article accordingly.
Yuki Tabata is the author and illustrator of the Black Clover manga, which serves as the inspiration for the Black Clover anime. In February 2015, he first started distributing the manga through the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.
The manga series is presently at its conclusion with the current chapter. The collections of manga volumes have been compiled into a total of 32 volumes.
